<p>I had previously emailed the SD admissions office about switching majors and such…but they said that they had no time to answer my email because they were busy with acceptance/rejection letters… But here’s a copy of my email:</p>
<p>To whom this may concern,</p>
<p>I was recently admitted to, as an undergrad, UCSD’s Jacobs School of Engineering under Engineering Sciences as my major. However, after reconsideration, I’d like to transfer out of this into pre-med before fall 2006 school session begins (so that I will start off in pre-med). I am a bit unsure of how I should go about this and I have a few questions about pre-med. Is pre-med even offered to incoming undergrads? If so, is it possible for me to transfer to pre-med during my first quarter of attending? Are there any requirements (such as taking certain units of chem, bio or approval from certain departments…) before I’m even considered under pre-med major? Also, in all six campuses, which one has better science courses for a path to pre-med? </p>
<p>Thank you. </p>
<p>If anyone can answer my questions, please do; all replies will be appreciated.</p>
<p>ok first of, there no such thing as a pre-med. pre-med is a course of study within a major. You can be a music major but take the premed classes and you’ll still be a premed. It really doesnt matter what your major is. I am a premed in UCSD’s bioengineering program. My friend is a premed as an electrical engineering major. If you want to be a premed, just take the premed classes.</p>
<p>Regardless of wether you’re premed in Revelle or Warren, you’ll need to take chem 6a/b/c and chem 140a/b/c…and likely, regardless of your college, you’ll sign up for the same lectures.</p>
<p>The only things that are really unique to the specific colleges are:
-The writing courses (warren writing, cat, hum, mmw, etc)
-The housing and food</p>
<p>There’s no Revelle Bio or Muir Bio…it’s bio and students from all colleges take it. Extend this to all the other subjects (mae, chem, phys, math, etc etc etc).</p>
<p>Switching out of engineering simply requires a change of major form. That said, you can complete the premed requirements without dropping the major…it’s simply a set of added courses that one takes as a preparaton for med school.</p>
